Don’t forget it comes with copilot which will send all your code for training by default.
You’d have to have opted out on your GitHub to prevent that.
It does not come with Copilot, that's an extension you need to install and then sign in using your Github account. I'm a Microslop hater as much as any sane person, and people should definitely opt out if they want to use Copilot. But don't spread FUD making people think it uploads everything to Microsoft just when using VS Code. It's perfectly fine to use VS Code without installing the Copilot extension.
Okay, thanks for correcting me
I don’t have copilot but still have all the chat windows when I open vscode, but maybe that’s legacy
